Abstract: | Mycorrhizal symbioses were found in the roots of 45 out of 59 species of pteridophytes collected in Korea. The mycorrhizal
fungi were colonized in the root cortical cells, primarily in terrestrial species, but rarely in epiphytic or aquatic pteridophytes.
Mycorrhizae that are typically found in orchid colonized the roots of the epiphytic pteridophytes, but not in other species.
These were the first observations of orchid mycorrhizae in pteridophytes. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were examined after
staining, then confirmed with PCR, using a specific primer. This is the first report of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization
in the roots of pteridophyte species in Asia. |
